Peggy Lou Bever, 83, Lagro, went peacefully to be with Jesus at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, in her home of 60 years. Her life was dedicated to her Lord, her family, her friends, and her community.

She was born Sept. 26, 1929, in Wabash County to Glenn and Emma Louise (Higgley) Baer. Peggy was a 1947 Linlawn graduate. She married James R. Bever in Richvalley, on Oct. 10, 1947. They settled in the Lagro community where she was a member of the Dora Christian Church.

Her servant's heart led her. She served many children as a cook at Lagro School and the community she loved as the Post Master. Most recently she continued this service while helping with the meals at Lagro United Methodist Kids Klub.

Peggy will always be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and wife.
